Legume plants include several important food crops such as soybean and lentils, and have the ability to exist in symbiosis with nitrogen fixing bacteria (collectively termed rhizobia), whereby the bacteria live in root nodules and reduce atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia. The fixed nitrogen is assimilated by the plant to meet its nitrogen requirements. Fundamental discovery-based research is necessary to unravel the genetic traits and biological mechanisms that are important for rhizobia to successfully colonize the legume rhizosphere and adapt to stresses encountered during rhizosphere colonization and plant nodulation.

豆科植物包括几种重要的粮食作物，如大豆和小扁豆，并且具有与固氮细菌（统称为根瘤菌）共生的能力，由此细菌生活在根瘤中并将大气氮还原为氨。固定的氮被植物同化以满足其氮需求。基于基础发现的研究是必要的，以解开根瘤菌成功地定殖豆科植物根际和适应在根际定殖和植物生长过程中遇到的压力是重要的遗传性状和生物学机制。
